Marketing while DRUNK.

    Was wondering if there was anyone else on here who sometimes uses the creative inspiration of alcohol to assist in aiding writer's block, or come up with ways to think outside the box? :confused:

    The luxury given from being able to do some work at home ;)

    If you're just generating ideas, maybe it could help? The main thing is that you go over the ideas again when you're sober to make sure they're actually good ;)

    Nope, marketing drunk doesn't sound like a very good idea to me.

    While drunk I thought I could will Google to send me traffic on autopilot. Come to think of it I wasn't so far off when I sobered up:)

    I don't drink enough to get drunk, but I was on Ambien for a while - happened to be while I was writing a novel (my first—and only, so far). Every morning I'd read the stuff I wrote the night before "under the influence" and was always surprised what my brain had come up with.

    It was like reading someone else's stuff because I didn't always remember writing it. Some of it was my best work. Interesting how that happens. I'm sure that creativity would help in Internet marketing as well, but alas, I am not on that wicked stuff anymore. :)

    Of course you can.....

    Check us out here: Internet Marketing With Your Drunk Golf Buddies

    Click on the image to see the clip. It open up in Windows Media Player.

    They wanted to do something funny, post it on youtube, then put our link in it and see what we could get out of it.

    And, they came up with that....

    Make sure to watch the whole thing to see the outcome.

    Oh of course I mean you would review/edit the stuff you've written the morning after, but it's amazing what can be brought out when you are totally uninhibited :eek:

    I'm not advocating drinking as a valid inspiration tactic though :D

    i dont markte when im drink but perhaps it would be worht a tryu
    acrticle markting for the wiin!
    </d>

    On a more serious note though... I would assume stimulants help you get stuff done more so than depressants.
    As far as creativity, either could work - everyone's just got to find what floats their boat the best.

    Haha yeah, even with live poker you pay the price, I've done it a few times I know :) Although if you control the aggression it can work just depends.

    As for this thread, you lack focus when you're drunk it definitely doesn't make you think outside the box (I've never heard anyone tell me they feel smarter when they're drunk LOL). It makes you feel dumber that is why everyone does stupid shit when they're drunk.
